2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R review: Is it a better Kodiaq RS or a jacked up Golf R, or both?

In a world where there's no such thing as too many SUVs, the Volkswagen Tiguan R raises the question of how far a mainstream brand can push the envelope.

With Golf R genes and practical body, this might seem like the ideal family SUV for those who have a taste for performance. But with a price tag nudging $70K in Australia, it might be a bridge too far for some.

But with no direct competition - you won't find a Toyota RAV4, Skoda Kodiaq, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan X-Trail, Subaru Forester or any other midsize SUV with 235kW of power and 400Nm of torque - it may offer those in the market for a luxury SUV a serious contender with some change left over.

Is the VW Tiguan R the fast SUV we’ve all been waiting for? Can it match the Golf R for personality, and does it do performance SUV better than the Skoda Kodiaq RS? Tom White spent a week in the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R, plus track time at Sydney Motorsport Park. Watch the video here and read Tom's full detailed written review by hitting the link below.
